This R package was created for academic research by PhD students of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the [University of Groningen](https://www.rug.nl/) and the Medical Microbiology & Infection Prevention department of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG). They also maintain this package, see [Authors](#authors).

## Why this package?
This R package contains functions to make microbiological, epidemiological data analysis easier. It allows the use of some new S3 classes to work with MIC values and antimicrobial interpretations (i.e. values S, I and R).
This R package contains functions to make microbiological, epidemiological data analysis easier. It allows the use of some new classes to work with MIC values and antimicrobial interpretations (i.e. values S, I and R).
AMR can also be predicted for the forthcoming years with the `rsi_predict` function. For use with the `dplyr` package, the `rsi` function can be used in conjunction with `summarise` to calculate the resistance percentages of different antibiotic columns of a table.
With AMR you can also apply EUCAST rules to isolates, identify first isolates of every patient, translate antibiotic codes from the lab (like `"AMOX"`) or the [WHO](https://www.whocc.no/atc_ddd_index/?code=J01CA04&showdescription=no) (like `"J01CA04"`) to trivial names (like `"amoxicillin"`), or predict antimicrobial resistance for the nextcoming years with the `rsi_predict` function.
It also contains functions to translate antibiotic codes from the lab (like `"AMOX"`) or the [WHO](https://www.whocc.no/atc_ddd_index/?code=J01CA04&showdescription=no) (like `"J01CA04"`) to trivial names (like `"amoxicillin"`) and vice versa.
For regular AMR analysis, the `rsi` function can be used. This function als works with the `dplyr` package (e.g. in conjunction with `summarise`) to calculate the resistance percentages of different antibiotic columns of a table.
This package contains an example data set `septic_patients`, consisting of 2000 isolates from anonymised septic patients between 2001 and 2017.
## How to get it?
This package is available on CRAN and also here on GitHub.
